After a valve job and verifying that the timing gears were correctly installed, my A ran, but had no power. The trouble had to be with the carburetor since the ignition system had been renewed. I had previously rebuilt the carburetor but I tore it down for a further check. I have another carb...

During the recent near 0F weather, the rear axle of the 1941 Toro General I'm overhauling refused to move. I removed the bottom bolt from the pumpkin housing and during a warm spell some goo oozed out, but only about 2 oz. The stuff which drained into a stainless steel bedpan is the color of...

Last year, while in the U.K. I was a spectator at the Fingle Hill sector of the Exeter Trial. The Trial is a two-day affair which began at 5 P.M. on January 4th and concluded 24 hours later. Motorcycles, with or without side cars and automobiles attempt to ascend some very steep and slippery...

So, I bought a '30 Canadian coupe from a guy in New Hampshire who said his wife wanted him to get a T-Bird. He got the car one year earlier from an old man in Maine who had restored it. It ran poorly, due to the gasahol in the tank, he said. It ran good when he got it, but he never used the car...

Planning a road trip from Mass. to Deadwood, S.D. and then on down to Santa Fe in October. Is there any place I should visit along Rte 80 after leaving Chicago? Thank you.
